I decided to go with a high street firm for our conveyancing in Worcestershire recently. Reviewing the fine print I notewe are responsible for fees even where the conveyance does not complete. Should I ditch them and instruct an on-line lawyer offering no move no charge conveyancing in Worcestershire?
Generally there is a concession along the lines that if "No Completion No Fee" is available then the fee levels will generally be more expensive to cover the transactions that fail to complete. Also remember that these offerings tend not to protect you from expenses such as Worcestershire conveyancing search expenses.
Me and my partner are soon to complete buying a property in Worcestershire but as a result of wreckage from the recent storms I have managed to agree recompense from the vendor in the sum of £3k by way of a deduction in the price. This was going to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process yet Aldermore are not allowing this. Should they have been notified?
The lawyer that is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel is obliged to disclose to Aldermore of any changes to the sale price. If you were to refuse your conveyancing practitioner to notify the price change to Aldermore then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Aldermore and you would have to appoint a new solicitor for your conveyancing in Worcestershire.

The lawyers undertaking our conveyancing in Worcestershire has forwarded documents to review that state the property is unregistered with epitome documents. Is it not the case that all property in Worcestershire should be registered?
Although most properties in Worcestershire are now registered with the Land Registry there are still a few that remain unregistered. Any property in Worcestershire that has been remortgaged since the late 1980’s will have been registered at the HMLR under the compulsory ‘first registration’ scheme. However, if a Worcestershire property has not changed hands in that time then it’s likely the old fashioned title deeds will be the only evidence of ownership.Many Worcestershire conveyancing lawyers should be able to handle such matters but in the event that uncertainty exists the standard proposition these days is for the seller’s conveyancer to register the title first and thereafter sell - this this chain of events will cause a significant delay.
